Drug ID BADD_D00241
Description Benzoyl peroxide is a commonly used drug in topical treatments for acne.[L33249,L33264,L33269,L33299,L33314] It has been formulated as products with either a single active ingredient,[L33249,L33299] or with [erythromycin],[L33264] [clindamycin],[L33269] or [adapalene].[L33314] After administration, the peroxide bond is cleaved, allowing benzoyloxy radicals to nonspecifically interact with proteins.[A18903,A233859] This treatment decreases keratin and sebum around follicles, as well as increasing turnover of epithelial cells.[A234059,A234064,A234069] Benzoyl peroxide, in combination with erythromycin, was granted FDA approval on 26 October 1984.[L33264]
Indications and Usage Benzoyl peroxide is formulated with antibiotics such as [erythromycin][L33264] and [clindamycin][L33269] for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Benzoyl peroxide is formulated as a number of topical products for the treatment of acne.[L33249, L33299] Benzoyl peroxide is also indicated in combination with [tretinoin] for the treatment of acne vulgaris in patients aged nine years and older.[L34869]
